Bloody Mess by karol

[raw]
made by karol for LD31 (COMPO)
My first ever submission. Written entirely in javascript without using any external libraries. Inspired by one of my favorite games: Crimsonland.

All the graphics are generated. Used cfxr, a microphone and Audacity to generate sounds.

Works best under Chrome and Firefox. Unfortunately there turned out to be some problems in Safari, which I haven't noticed before the submission deadline. I haven't tested other browsers, but I'm pretty sure it won't work under IE.

Use WSAD or arrows to move and mouse to aim/shoot. Try to beat 400 points. If you get bored try typing in IDDQD (all caps) and see what happens.

I wish I had more time to add features, fix bugs and optimize performance. On the other hand I'm glad I can finally get some sleep.

I plan to both improve this game and write many more, so if you liked it you can follow me on twitter @krlkzb.

Pretty nice game. After a while you barely can see the player.

Cool but the sound bugged and game slowed down a bit for me. (On chrome if that makes any difference) Also a bit bloody...

@MCPGNZ I know. Redesigning the player character is one of the todos that didn't make it. 48 hours is pretty constraining.

@Fanttum Sorry to hear that. Sound playback issues are what causes the problems on Safari. Which version of Chrome are you using? I wanted to implement muting, but didn't have enough time to. As for the blood, I went all in once I decided on the title.

Nice game, I like the controls which feel very smooth and easy to play. It gets very hard fast but it's enjoyable. I felt like there was a bit too much on the screen after a while, it became hard to see.

Nice graphics effect and game play. :)

This game have some lag in my Mac safari. But it works very well in Firefox.

@sharpcoder @karlipoppins the game is a bit easier if you play it in a full browser window instead of the embedded iframe. Just click the Web link if you'd like to try.

I scored 181
satisfying and messy game
great job on getting something this functional done in the timeframe.
minor suggestion: instead of a box that says 'HP' how about a little red cross? makes game more visually interesting and removes language barrier.

@jrap I implemented the powerups about an hour or two before the deadline. Didn't have enough time to tweak their looks, since there were a few other things I wanted done before submission. Some elements are a bit rushed and it shows.

Wow, this game feels amazing! You really nailed the controls here. I did seem to lose my player on the screen a lot though.

Fun way to make a bloody spatter pattern :D

Pro tip: don't IDDQD and then leave the game running while you go get coffee.

Thanks for the game!

Very satisfying and fun! The bullet sounds get kind of annoying after awhile though.

I would play this to the death with an xbox360 controller :) Audio didn't seem to work on my version of Firefox, apart from a pop here and there...
But this is an intense game, very intense !!

Fun game! It ramps up difficulty pretty quick. The blood god must be appeased.

Love the blood rendering! And the detail of the weapon recharging. Very fun and addictive, I love it!

Bloody mess indeed. I feel like more discernible shapes would have helped this a bit, it starts to clutter and blend after a while. The shooting and movement feels pretty good, especially at the beginning, it starts to drop when more and more stuff gets added.

Fantastic graphical style! I think this would also be super fun with a mouse, but it's really hard with a trackpad so maybe I will come back to it when I'm off the laptop. :)

Great game, I very much enjoyed creating a bloody mess. :D Some sort of indication of remaining clip would be nice.
